Meyer's name in the window, received the two men, one of whom, in the interests of good business, was soon to be impoverished. They had not waited a minute before Captain Bryce and Mr. Austen were announced and ushered in. Sleek, well-fed, and gentlemanly in manner, perfect types of the British naval officer, they bowed politely to Mr. Selfridge when Mr.
Bill Macy condemned Durden in language profane and energetic. He didn't stop at Durden. Holt came in for a share of it, also Elliot and Selfridge. The old miner grinned at him. "You'll feel better now you've got that out of your system. But don't stop there if you'd like to say a few more well-chosen words. We got time a-plenty." "Cut it out, Bill.
"And you say, colonel," said the captain, "that this man Rowland is an old enemy?" "He is or was once a rejected admirer of Mrs. Selfridge. That is all I know of him except that he has hinted at revenge. My wife is certain of what she saw, and I think the man should be confined."
"Oh, well!" Diane joined in his laughter. It was one of her good points that she could laugh at herself. "I dare say I do sound like a real estate pamphlet, but it's all true anyhow." Gordon left Kusiak as reluctantly as Wally Selfridge had done, though his reasons for not wanting to go were quite different.
There's no need for you to run a risk of getting into trouble for me. If things break right, I can do what I have to do without help." "And if they don't?" Strong waved an impatient hand. "Cut it out, Elliot. I've taken a fancy to go through with this. I never did like Selfridge anyhow, and I ain't got a wife and I don't work for Mac. Why the hell shouldn't I have some fun?"
One of the passengers on that trip had been Selfridge, sent out to counteract the influence of the evidence against the claimants submitted by the field agent. An information had been filed against Gordon for highway robbery and attempted murder. Wally was to see that the damning facts against him were brought to the attention of officials in high places where the charges would do most good.
Selfridge Merry had caught the phrase "round the world," and having once circled the globe in his steam-yacht, he seized the opportunity to send down the table several striking items concerning the shallowness of the Mediterranean ports. Though, after all, he added, it didn't matter; for when you'd seen Athens and Smyrna and Constantinople, what else was there? And Mrs.
Look at Wally confined to his bed and speaking in a whisper. Look at you a wreck, horribly beaten up, almost drowned. We must drive the villains out of the country or send them to prison." Mrs. Selfridge always talked in superlatives. She had an enthusiasm for the dramatics of conversation.
"They had no business doing that," burst out Diane. "Wally Selfridge isn't an officer of the law." Strong nodded dryly to her. "Just what I thought. So I followed them. They went to Macdonald's offices. After awhile Wally came out and left the other man there. Then presently the lights went out. The man is camped there for the night. Will you tell me why?"
The muckrake magazines have raised such a row about the Guttenchild crowd putting over a big steal on the public that the party leaders are scared stiff. I couldn't pick up a newspaper anywhere without seeing your name in the headlines. It was fierce." Selfridge had found his glib tongue and was off. "I understand that, Wally.
